<p>Summer is winding down, and what a summer it has been! Wonderful thing about the world of social media, we get to see all the fun vacations our friends and loved ones took. I hope everyone got some sort of fun adventure in before fall begins. I am super excited to be going to Minnesota in a few days to visit friends and family.&nbsp;</p>
<p>When I vacation, it usually means someone is kind enough to put me up for a week or two. Yes, it would sometimes be nice to stay in a luxurious hotel, but we can&#39;t always afford that. Plus I often vacation specifically to see people I love, so staying with them is always a fun part of it! However, I know it can be challenging to host someone for week, so make sure you thank those who helped you have such a wonderful vacation.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Send your hosts or hostesses gourmet brownie gifts from Fairytale Brownies.

<p><span style="line-height: 1.6;">We <a href="http://www.brownies.com/default.aspx?scid=BLOG" target="_blank">ship brownies</a> worldwide, but our bakery and retail location is in Phoenix, Arizona. While the rest of the country looks forward to summer all year, most Phoenicians are anxiously waiting fall and winter again. That is because it is reaching temperatures of 114 degrees right now! Yes, it is a dry heat, but whether you are in a dishwasher or oven it is still hot! And it does feel like an oven around here, so much so that our local news team decided they would try baking cookies outside using the Arizona heat alone!</span></p>
<p>ABC 15 Arizona put cookie dough on a baking sheet, and then placed it outside on their patio to cook for six hours. Some of their team then tried the cookies to see how it worked. Check out <a href="http://www.abc15.com/weather/live-video-will-cookies-bake-in-phoenix-heat" target="_blank">their video</a> to see the brave tasters&rsquo; reactions.</p>
<p>Although it may be hot enough to bake cookies outside, we still use the ovens in our bakery to bake the <a href="http://www.brownies.com/category/bulk-cookies.aspx?scid=BLOG" target="_blank">best cookies</a> around! With 6 moist, chewy <a href="http://www.brownies.com/facts_info/cookie_flavors.aspx?scid=BLOG" target="_blank">cookie flavors</a> to try, you are sure to find a favorite. So, it is up to you. Take the chance and try baking your cookies outside in the Arizona heat (could be fun), or order a <a href="http://www.brownies.com/category/cookies.aspx?scid=BLOG" target="_blank">cookie delivery</a> from Fairytale Brownies and know you will get a delicious product! Happy Summer everyone!</p>

<p><span style="line-height: 1.6;">Working for <a href="http://www.brownies.com/default.aspx?scid=BLOG" target="_blank">Fairytale Brownies</a>, I am often asked what my favorite flavor is. Well hold on, flavor of what: brownies, cookies, or bars? I am surprised at how many people do not realize that besides making the best brownie ever, we also make delicious <a href="http://www.brownies.com/facts_info/cookie_flavors.aspx?scid=BLOG" target="_blank">chewy cookies</a> and <a href="http://www.brownies.com/facts_info/bar_flavors.aspx?scid=BLOG" target="_blank">soft, buttery blondie bars</a>.</span></p>
<p>We may be well known for our brownies, but our cookies and bars are just as delicious. Doc O., from Paradise Valley, Arizona is a big fan of our Fairytale Bars. He said, &quot;These bars are fabulously rich and moist. Worth every calorie!&quot; &nbsp;And Linda from Manteca, CA loves our cookies, &quot;Sinfully good....everyone was all smiles when I served these cookies.&quot; So if you haven&#39;t tried our cookies and bars, what are you waiting for?!</p>
<p>Visit <a href="http://www.brownies.com/default.aspx?scid=BLOG" target="_blank">brownies.com</a> and order cookies and bars to try. For cookies, I recommend the <a href="http://www.brownies.com/product/fairytale-cookie-dozen.aspx?scid=BLOG" target="_blank">Fairytale Cookie Dozen</a>. This gift comes with 2 each of our six divine flavors, so you can try them all and find your favorite! If you are interested in trying the bars, then go for the <a href="http://www.brownies.com/product/fairytale-bar-dozen.aspx?scid=BLOG" target="_blank">Fairytale Bar Dozen</a>. Once again you will receive two each of six delicious flavors! Now if you find it difficult to order from Fairytale Brownies without purchasing brownies, then we have combo gifts to satisfy every craving! Order just <a href="http://www.brownies.com/category/cookies.aspx?scid=BLOG" target="_blank">brownies and cookies</a>, just <a href="http://www.brownies.com/category/bars-and-more.aspx?scid=BLOG" target="_blank">brownies and bars</a>, or a gift that comes with all three like the <a href="http://www.brownies.com/product/ultimate-bar-sprite-and-cookie-combo.aspx?scid=BLOG" target="_blank">Ultimate Bar, Sprite &amp; Cookie Combo</a>.</p>
<p>Now back to the original question: what is my favorite flavor?&nbsp; If I had to pick I would say my favorite brownie flavor is the <a href="http://www.brownies.com/product/12-bulk-toffee-crunch-brownies.aspx?scid=BLOG" target="_blank">Toffee Crunch</a>. My favorite cookie is the <a href="http://www.brownies.com/product/24-bulk-caramel-pecan-cookies.aspx?scid=BLOG" target="_blank">Caramel Pecan</a>, and my favorite bar is the <a href="http://www.brownies.com/product/two-dozen-bulk-cinnamon-crumb-bars.aspx?scid=BLOG" target="_blank">Cinnamon Crumb</a>.

<p><span style="line-height: 1.6;">Most of Fairytale Brownies business is done through mail order. Many people order brownies, cookies and bars online at </span><a href="http://www.brownies.com/default.aspx?scid=BLOG" style="line-height: 1.6;" target="_blank">brownies.com</a><span style="line-height: 1.6;"> or through a catalog before they even taste them. So it&#39;s really important that we have excellent photos of our gourmet desserts. Since you can&rsquo;t taste the treats, we need to convey just how yummy they are through visuals!</span></p>
<p>Twice a year, my team and I spend one to two weeks with a professional photographer and food stylists to create the most delicious looking photography that we can. When your brownie delivery arrives, you can tell just by looking at them how great they are going to be, but capturing that in an image takes a lot of time and work. However, it is also a lot of fun!</p>
<p>Our gourmet brownies, cookies and bars really are the stars of the shoot. We spend time making sure each treat looks its best! Of course with all those gourmet brownies around, it is impossible not to treat ourselves to some sweets. After making them look so irresistible how can I not snack on set?! &nbsp;And I am sure once you start browsing our photos, you will crave some <a href="http://www.brownies.com/facts_info/brownie_flavors.aspx?scid=BLOG" target="_blank">fudgy chocolate brownies</a> as well. So the next time you mail order brownies from Fairytale Brownies, remember that they will taste even better than they look!</p>

<p><span style="line-height: 1.6;">Sally McKenney, a writer and photographer from Baltimore, has developed quite a following for her excellent food blog </span><a href="http://sallysbakingaddiction.com/" style="line-height: 1.6;" target="_blank">Sally&rsquo;s Baking Addiction</a><span style="line-height: 1.6;">. It&rsquo;s a great stop for gourmet cookie and dessert recipes to fill the gap between </span><a href="http://www.brownies.com/category/classic-gifts.aspx?scid=BLOG" style="line-height: 1.6;" target="_blank">brownie deliveries</a><span style="line-height: 1.6;"> from Fairytale Brownies.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.6;">Sally&rsquo;s blog recently caught the attention of </span><a href="http://www.npr.org/2014/03/10/288587085/from-sallys-kitchen-straight-to-your-sweet-tooth" style="line-height: 1.6;" target="_blank">NPR</a><span style="line-height: 1.6;">, which published her recipe for Salted Caramel Dark Chocolate Cookies. Sally&rsquo;s gourmet cookies are sprinkled with sea salt and stuffed with caramel. Last year, the recipe won a Nestle Toll House contest&mdash;and the accompanying $5,000 grand prize!</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.6;">So, how does one go about stuffing caramel into a gourmet cookie? As Sally&#39;s told to NPR, &ldquo;The trick to stuffing the caramel candy inside is to make sure the dough completely envelops it. Otherwise you&#39;ll have a leaking caramel mess on your cookie sheets!&rdquo;</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.6;">Yeah, we&rsquo;re guessing that&rsquo;s not as easy as it sounds.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.6;">If you&rsquo;re in the mood for a sweet combination of chocolate and caramel but you&rsquo;re not ready to follow Sally into the kitchen, it&rsquo;s time to schedule your next brownie delivery from Fairytale Brownies. Our </span><a href="http://www.brownies.com/product/12-bulk-caramel-brownies.aspx?scid=BLOG" style="line-height: 1.6;" target="_blank">Caramel Brownie</a><span style="line-height: 1.6;"> packs a layer of creamy caramel into our traditional fudgy chocolate brownie.</span></p>

<p>It&#39;s never been easier to send gourmet brownies to your friends, family and loved ones. Looking for a reason to gift gourmet brownies? Here are 5 to get you started:&nbsp;</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Health Benefits of Chocolate:</strong> According to <a href="http://www.womenshealthmag.com/health/benefits-of-chocolate" target="_blank">women&#39;s health mag</a>, chocolate is now considered a &quot;superfood!&quot; Cacao, the bean chocolate is made from is packed with healthy chemicals like flavonoids and theobromine, which has disease-killing components. Stick to chocolate with at least 70% cacao, you&#39;ll reap the benefits. Fairytale Brownies are baked with Callebaut Dark Belgian Chocolate (pure - unsweetened).&nbsp;</li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.6;"><strong>Evoke childhood memories and sensations: </strong>According to </span><a href="http://health.howstuffworks.com/mental-health/human-nature/perception/smell3.htm" style="line-height: 1.6;" target="_blank">howstuffworks</a><span style="line-height: 1.6;">, smells and tastes can bring on a flood of memories that influence people moods. Because we encounter most new smells and tastes in our youth, they often call up childhood memories. Childhood memories shape our lives, and reliving the &nbsp;loving sensation of eating Mom&#39;s brownies after school is one that I want to relive as many times as possible.</span></li>
<li><strong>Send a Thank You or Happy Birthday gift: </strong>A brownie gift is always appropriate. When you want to send a message of <a href="http://www.brownies.com/category/congratulations.aspx?scid=BLOG" target="_blank">Congratulations</a>, <a href="http://www.brownies.com/category/thank-you.aspx?scid=BLOG" target="_blank">Thank You</a>, or <a href="http://www.brownies.com/category/happy-birthday.aspx?scid=BLOG" target="_blank">Happy Birthday</a>, it can be hard to find the appropriate gesture. What to do? Send gourmet brownies! More grown up than a box of cookies, gourmet brownies are just right for everyone; family, friends, co-workers, business clients and superiors.&nbsp;</li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.6;"><strong>College Care Package: </strong>Brownies delivered to your daughter or son&#39;s dorm room at college lets them know that you are thinking of them. What a great gift to send during finals week as a <a href="http://www.brownies.com/category/good-luck-gifts.aspx?scid=BLOG" target="_blank">good luck gift</a>, or as a quick motivational gift right before graduation! Your child will be the rockstar of the dorm when sharing gourmet brownies with their friends.&nbsp;</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.6;"><strong>Soldier Care Package:</strong>&nbsp;Sending a care package that contains <a href="http://www.brownies.com/category/patriotic.aspx?scid=BLOG" target="_blank">Patriotic gourmet chocolate brownies</a> is a great way to comfort the men and women serving in our nations military. Individually wrapped brownies are a great gift to send as they&#39;ll stay fresher longer, as the perishability time is decreased. If you have a friend or family member serving in the military, try a brownie delivery, or if you just are interested in supporting the military, consider a donation to <a href="https://soldiersangels.org/" target="_blank">Soldiers Angels</a>, the nonprofit organization that provides aid and comfort to our nations military and their families.&nbsp;</span></li>
</ol>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.6;">Whatever the occasion, life&#39;s landmark events deserve special celebration. <a href="http://www.brownies.com/default.aspx?scid=BLOG" target="_blank">Fairytale Brownies</a> are the perfect gift to mark these meaningful moments.&nbsp;</span></p>

<p>I have many hostess friends out there, that just love throwing parties and get togethers. It is just so fun to bring friends and family together, and to remember the important things in life. Of course, we like to show off a bit and get creative as well, especially with food! I know people who have put out quite and impressive spread at their parties, sometimes they cook it themselves, but other times they either don&#39;t have the time or prefer to serve something they know will be a hit. Like <a href="http://www.brownies.com/facts_info/brownie_flavors.aspx?scid=BLOG" target="_blank">Belgian Chocolate Brownies</a>, <a href="http://www.brownies.com/facts_info/cookie_flavors.aspx?scid=BLOG" target="_blank">moist cookies</a>, and <a href="http://www.brownies.com/facts_info/bar_flavors.aspx?scid=BLOG" target="_blank">chewy bars</a> from <a href="http://www.brownies.com/default.aspx?scid=BLOG" target="_blank">Fairytale Brownies</a>.</p>
<p>You&#39;re guests will not be able to resist our amazingly delicious gourmet treats! We have a lot of different options to choose from! I will layout some of my top suggestions!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.brownies.com/category/ultimate-gifts.aspx?scid=BLOG" target="_blank">Crowd Pleasers</a>- These assortments are large enough to go around and you can choose whether you want just brownies, or an assortment with cookies and bars as well. I suggest the <a href="http://www.brownies.com/product/cookie-and-sprite-extravaganza.aspx?scid=BLOG">Cookie &amp; Sprite Extravaganza</a>. 48 snack-size Fairytale Sprites are paired with 36 Fairytale Cookies. There is something for everyone here! The hardest part will be choosing a favorite flavor!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.brownies.com/category/photo-tins.aspx?scid=BLOG" target="_blank">Custom Photo Gifts</a>- These gifts are all about personalization. Send your guests home with gourmet treats packed inside an elegant box with your own personal photo printed right on the lid. I recommend the <a href="http://www.brownies.com/product/photo-4-sprite-favor.aspx?scid=BLOG">Photo 4-Sprite Favor</a>, it has a good sample of our most popular brownie flavors.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.brownies.com/business_gifts/custom_logo_gifts.aspx?scid=BLOG" target="_blank">Custom Logo Gifts</a>- This is a great for company parties! Make a fresh-baked statement with gourmet brownies tucked inside a gift box featuring your full-colored logo. I recommend the <a href="http://www.brownies.com/product/custom-8-sprite-favor.aspx?scid=BLOG" target="_blank">Custom 8-Sprite Favor</a>. Your company or brand will be remembered with this stand out gift!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.brownies.com/products/bunches.aspx?cat=2?scid=BLOG" target="_blank">Bulk</a>- I recommend this for those who know the flavors they like and want to stick with them, or if you are having a themed party. For St Patrick&#39;s Day coming up, you may want to order <a href="http://www.brownies.com/product/12-bulk-mint-chocolate-brownies.aspx?scid=BLOG" target="_blank">Bulk Mint Chocolate Brownies</a>.

Our Mint Chocolate Brownie is probably considered the best brownie for mint lovers. Cool mint is hand-drizzled over rich chocolate. Yum!

Hey, they might even appreciate these fun facts about mint, courtesy of the Mint Industry Research Council.</p>
<ul>
<li>
Ninety percent of all peppermint and spearmint oil produced in the U.S. goes into chewing gum, toothpaste, and mouth wash. That doesn&rsquo;t leave much for the rest of us!</li>
<li>
Mint is likely one of the earliest herbs put to regular use. Mint has been found in Egyptian tombs dating back to 1,000 BC and was probably used in China even earlier.</li>
<li>
The early Romans believed mint improved intelligence. The Roman army carried mint with it throughout Europe, helping it to spread into new areas.</li>
</ul>
<p>
Who&rsquo;s ready for mint? Our <a href="http://www.brownies.com/product/12-bulk-mint-chocolate-brownies.aspx?scid=BLOG" target="_blank">Mint Chocolate Brownies</a> deliver cool mint hand-drizzled over rich chocolate.

<p>
Well, we&rsquo;re not the only ones working hard to deliver the goods on Valentine&rsquo;s Day.</p>
<p>
This year, we offer a special salute to Bomber Girls LRC of Savannah, Georgia. The Bomber Girls spend the weeks leading up to Valentine&rsquo;s Day collecting home-baked cookies to create delicious gift baskets for our troops serving overseas.</p>
<p>
The group&rsquo;s creative call to arms is: &ldquo;Fire up your ovens to send the troops some Lovin&#39;.&rdquo;</p>
<p>
The tradition started six years ago with 300 dozen cookies finding their ways into the hands and stomachs of men and women serving our country overseas. By 2012, the number of cookie deliveries had skyrocketed to 6,000 dozen!</p>
<p>
Baking that many cookies requires a nationwide effort! Debbie Will of Porter County in northwest Indiana contributed dozens of chocolate chip cookies, plus a 2-pound bag of large dog treats, to the Bomber Girls&rsquo; campaign.</p>
<p>
&ldquo;I couldn&rsquo;t think of a better worthwhile cause,&rdquo; Debbie told <a href="http://posttrib.suntimes.com/news/porter/25042493-418/cookie-drive-benefits-overseas-soldiers-their-canine-colleagues.html" target="_blank">The Post-Tribune of Northwest Indiana</a>.</p>
